Sherman and the South.

The democrats are greatly dis
turbed by Senator Sherman's mastery
speech in Nashville, and are ear
nestly seeking for some democratic
statesman who has sufficient courage
to attempt a reply. 1t is stated that
Senator Beck of Kentucky will write
letter for publication in the southern
democratic papers, in which he will
attempt refutation of Senator Sher-
mans statements in relation to the
tariff and the suppression of the col
ored vote. He will have a large task.
The Ohio senator has given nothing
but sound advice to the dominant ele-
ment of the southern people. He pre-
diets that the South has a great future
before it if it will cut loose from the
dead past and pursue more liberal
course in politics. He has boldly APP
pealed to the men in that section, both
white and black, to throw aside race
pre- JUDGES and sentiments in politics,
judge parties by the policies which
they advocate, and vote for those prin-
ciples and policies which are best cal
culated to advance the interests of all
the people. In his Nashville speech
he showed clearly and without evasion
the exact position of the republican
party upon the tariff and its relations
to labor, to the questions of internal
improvements and finance, and the in
competence and inability of the demo-
cratic party to deal with them or any other
subjects affecting the public welfare.
Referring to the methods by which the
South has heretofore been kept prac-
tically solid for the democratic party,
he declared that no wrong can be done
to the humblest citizen and no right
withheld without reacting upon the
community at large. " AS long as such
methods are resorted to-" said he,
there will be the keen sense of wrong
and injustice to the injured parties,
and those who practice such offences
will in the end suffer for it. Sec.
tional feeling will continue to exist as
long as large masses of people, whether
poor or rich, white or black, are denied

hand on the box and return it to the safe,
but he could not reach 1t. The police were
soon called out and the woman found in

breaking up housekeeping. In her possess
sion were found several stolen articles i'm

various ways, but as yet no clue has been

cence, of course. Most of the securities

are that the old lady will soon weaken and
tell where the lost treasure is.
IMPROVEMENTS OF THE PASSENGER DEPOT
There are good assurances that early in
the spring the Central Vermont manage
ment will make extensive changes in
the depot here. Now all passengers and
busses have to cross three or four tracks to
reach the Office and waitng-room causing
great Inconvenience and often mourning
much danger. 1t is proposed to build an
Office on the east side and make other much
needed changes. TROUBLE.

be set aside in the Interpretation of the
act, or the commissioners should eXer-
else their power to suspend the opera
ton of the law in this particular case,
the effect must be favorable to eastern
wool-growers. However, it will prob
ably be the policy of the commission to
minimize the inequalities growing out
of the operations of the law to the
greatest degree compatible with differ
ing circumstances. Unless the law is
going to give nearly equal advantages
and benefits to all sections of the coun-
try it will fail of its intended purpose.

Coercion for Ireland.

1t is evident that the English tory
party is bound to wage severe battle
against the granting of further conces-
sions to Ireland The character of their
coercion bill shows that the conserva-
tive ministry has made up its mind that
the broadcast rights of property must be
protected in Ireland at all hazards and
by the strongest methods. The bill
abolshes trial by jury in Ireland, Civ
ing to magistrates the power to inflict a
maximum penalty of six months inn
prisonment for offences such as boy
cotting, conspiracy and rioting, or in
citing the same. In grave cases, of
murder or arson, the bill originally pro-
vided for a change of venue to England,
but at the request of their liberalization
allies the conservatives have withdrawn
this clause. There has been notable
debate on the bill. The governments
side has been presented by Mr.. Bal
four, who explained the necessity for
the proposed legislation. In reply,
Patrick Dillon declared if the bill be-
came a law he would leave Ireland,
which it made land of slaves, or he
would lead the Irish people to battle
against the execution of such meas
ure. Mr.. Gladstone followed with a
vigorous attack on the bill, asserting
that instead of being cure or a pallia
tive for Irish ills it would aggravate
the worst disorders, and with its in
PRODUCTION the prospect of Cancellation
vanished. Mr.. Parnell contended that
the power given the magistrates would
enable them to send political opponents
to prison for six months. The pro-
posals meant reign of judicial muir
ders. 1t meant that all hopes of better
times which seemed dawning upon
Ireland would soon disappear. He
would still counsel the Irish people to
submit to injustice rather than retaliate
or do anything that might drive Glad
stone from their side, or increase his
difficulties, or place him in false posi-
ton with the liberals. The bill has
passed its first reading by large ma
jority. Its opponents had hoped for a
break in the ranks of the liberal
unionists, but the latter have been in
duced to sustain the measure by the
fear that its defeat would restore Mr..
Gladstone to power 1t is probable the
bill will become law; then will follow
the usual cycle of events-disorders and
outrages, wholesale arrests, evictions,
etc., which in due time will create the
inevitable revulsion of sentiment in
England.

Keeping Up the Deception.

A committee of the Civil Service Re-
form League, consisting of George w.
Curtis, Carl Schurz, Charles r. Cod
man and Others, has made lengthy
report upon the progress of the reform.
1t is claimed that gratifying results have
been achieved in states and municipal
tiles. That part of the report of most
public interest reviews the course of
the democratic administration, and
while it gives many damaging facts in
regard to the action and influence of
the President and heads of depart
ments as to the civil service, the COM
mittee endeavor to destroy the effect of
their arraignment by absurd eXplana-
tons and excavations. Although they
must be well aware, and have made it
manifest in their own showing, that
the civil service law and rules have
been repeatedly ignored and violated
by the administration, yet they take
great pains to impress the country with
the idea that things are better than
they seem. They give this curious ex-
PLANTATION of the Presidents course :
"The probable explanation is that in a
political community of such charac-
ter it seemed to the President eXpe-
dent for the general interest of reform
not to break with his party and thus
invite efforts to repeal the law or to
battle its operation, but to compromise
with power that he did not feel strong
enough to overthrow" While finally
admitting that " the course of the ad-
ministration in regard to appointments,
removals and suspensions has been
irregular, inconsistent and sometimes
ineXplicable," yet in spite of the obvi-
Gus facts the committee profess to be-
lieve that the progress of the reform in
the national administration is not
wholly unsatisfactory. The document
fairly bristles with excuses and apollo
gies for the course of the administra-
ton, and it is an evident attempt to de-
ceive the public by men who cannot
themselves be deceived. Though the
report is in some respects an interest
ing collection of facts, yet two impor-
tant facts have been omitted. One of
these is that out of twenty-three hun
dred presidential post-ofiices at least
two thousand have been filled with
democrats, and the other is that out of
fifty-four thousand fourth-class post
offices nearly forty thousand have been
so filed At this rate how many of
the federal offices will have republican
incumbents in 1888? The committee
might have referred to the fact that
the President has of late been displac-
ing republican oflce-holders in Rhode
Island for the purpose of giving the
democrats a little help in the state cleo
ton, which comes off to-day. There is
no successful questioning of the facts !;
the democracy is fairly in the saddle
and the mugwumps must trudge along
on foot. That the latter are trying to
make the best of their great blunder in
voting for Mr.. Cleveland in 1884 does
not conceal the obvious weakness of
their present position.

their rights to share in self-govern-
ment." Who will say that such senti-
ments are not worthy of hearty APP
prevail? The southern mind is already
thinking On the justice of the propo-
sitions advanced; and hence the great
anxiety of the democratic leaders to
counterfeit the effect of Senator Sher-
mans appeals.

Colnsa County nixi.ion

EDS. REcoRD-UNIoN 1t is known to YOU
and to your readers that there is an effort
being made to have the present Legislature

representing either side of the question
have been in attendance on the LegisIa.
ture, among them your humble servant.
Things went along smoothly and there
seemed TO be disposition to let the COM
mittees and Legislature have the question
on its merits, until yesterday, when heard
rumors of investigation OF personal charac-
ter.
The division boys, finding themselves
defeated, got off their nut, and put
on different kind of war paint.
Feeling that they themselves were like
C;eSar's wife ought 10 have been, they felt
that they could afford to throw mud all
over any opposition. A Sunday paper
whose reputation is hardly as good as it
might be, publishes as editorial this morn
ing an article going for the personal char
acter of all who dared to oppose dismem-
berment of the county. The writer said
that | did not want il, because of a verv
fat thing on printing. but he could hardly
be so charitable to Others who were max
ing themselves extensively oflicious in op-
position to the move. "Some of them" he
AYERS. "rest under clouds that if ever r;fted
would betray private lives reeking with
the basest infamy and clothed with crime
in its most vicious forms" One in partic-
ular, very active man, continues the article,

OF course a resort TO a thing of this kind
is an abandonment Of the case on its mer-
its but do hope to see the prime movers
in the division contest come out in re-
pu;able journal and disown the publica-
ton, even if they did say something on
>the moment of recognizing defeat that was
in bad taste. Ii is better not to throw out
statements or insinuations that cannot be
substantiated. The boys ought TO recog-
nize the fact that 500 taxpayers of the pro-
posed new county of Glenn represent
ing over $4,000, GOO of the $4,000.
600 in the territory, are not to
be set back by such a publication.
Or it would look muchbetter-if still of the
opinion that character of the men opposed
cut any figure in the matter-to come out
over responsible signatures and name. The
some of them referred to- and the one
in particular especially it seems ought 10
be named, so as to relieve the balance Of
the community. II is manly either to dis
own this publication or else put the accu-
sation in specific form, over signatures able
to respond in damages Which shall we
look for? Every man / know is perfectly
willing to lst facts come out.
Boys, whether The county is divided or
not, we must all live as neighbors 80 let
us all admit the fact that every citizen has
a right to net in public matters as he
pleases, and let us say and do nothing that
will interfere with our future social ameni-
ties. w. s. GREEN.

DENs OF INFAMY.
\ Revelation of the Mysteries of Lurn-
ber Region.

a Revelation of the Mysteries of a LuIn-
ber Region.
DETROIT, January 23d During last week
q bill was introduced in the Michigan
Legislature to suppress the infamous dance
houses in the lumber camps of the Upper
Peninsula. The worst stories from that
region are corrobosated By the story of one
of the victims of the infamous traffic. In
tie Detroit House of Correction are eight
women who were sentenced to one years
imprisonment for being found in one of
these dens. When the house was raided
nine women were captured One OF these
was sent to the hospital suffering from
horrible disease, and the other eight were
brought here, Two of these are in the
prison hospital. One, known as Minnie,
will be released and will leave in few
days to go to her home in the East 10 die.
In view of the pending legislation. the
Free Press will tomorrow publish an inter-
view with this last named creature, which
gives an account OF q life the horrors of
which can be scarcely imagined.
On a promise of employment, Minnie.
whose husband had deserted her in Chi
cago, was induced to go to camp near
Menominee by cheap restaurant keeper
named William Gaines, of Chicago. Not
until her arrival in the lumber region did
Siie IedliLe 'bc li.e size WAS " ieau, anu
then lack Of funds prevented her returning.
BY force she was compelled to do the hid
ding of the fienGs who kept the hell in
which she was confined. Kicks and beat
ings were frequent. The shaDty in which
they were pepned was surrounded by high
palisades, and thirteen bloodhounds further
prevented escape. All attempts to COM
municate with the outer world were fruit
less. Once the attention of the authorities
was attracted, and a Deputy Sheriff called
10 investigate. He was given $500, and left.
The girls story has been verified by the
Superintendent of the House of Correc-
ton, after careful investigation. What
is published is but hint of the life led in
these dens of infamy, the details being too
revolving for publication.
